“And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.”
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture — the rocky-ground failure in Luke is specified as the lack of moisture rather than the lack of soil depth (Mark). Luke's version identifies the dryness as the cause of withering — an agricultural detail appropriate to the Mediterranean climate where moisture is the limiting factor for growth.
